Nightlife

Don’t even think about going dancing before 10pm—most clubs don’t heat up until midnight. Although popular venues can be found in the Isla Verde resorts and in Santurce, Calle San Sebastián, in Old San Juan, is hands-down the city’s nightlife capital. The legal drinking age in Puerto Rico is 18.
